Answer Posted / loday

its a logic question...n 12 is definatly nt an answer and its not a question where u use formula...if there are 12 ppl
12th person will have 11th shakes
since the 11th person has already shaken hand whit 12th he has
already 1 shake on him...and when he shakes hand with other he will have 10 shakes and the total bcme 11 shakes...and since its a question is bout handshake...when 2 ppl shake hand both the ppl gets 1 handshake each..and plz keep in mind that its handshakes...u cant have only 1ppl getting handshake points during handshake or wise that is not a handshake...handshake is something that both ppl shake hand...12 ppl shaking hand with each other's is 132 shakes...i have seen ppl disagree but get 12 ppl and see fr urself
